Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
1:00 pm
Liam Twomey (Fine Gael)
Are all the regulations, standards and so on that would apply to these breeding establishments published? Are they all in the public domain to ensure anyone who has a dog breeding kennel knows exactly the standards that will apply to them once this legislation is enacted, or is there more to come? Given that this legislation is significantly different from the recommendations of the dog breeders working group that was established, perhaps there might be a need to extend this period because the full information is not available even as we speak?
